How does something immoral, when done privately, become moral when it is done collectively? Furthermore, does legality establish morality? Slavery was legal; apartheid was legal; Stalinist, Nazi, and Maoist purges were legal. Clearly, the fact of legality does not justify these crimes. Legality, alone, cannot be a talisman of moral people. - Walter.E. Williams
"Almost all professors of the arts and sciences are egregiously conceited, and derive their happiness from their conceit" - Erasmus
"No lesson seems to be so deeply inculcated by experience of life as that you should never trust experts. If you believe doctors, nothing is wholesome; if you believe theologians, nothing is innocent; if you believe soldiers, nothing is safe, if you believe environmentalists, humanity is a virus. - Lord Salisbury
